• All the famous sounds from the complete and utterly classic Fairlight IIx system, with loads of spices from Synclavier and a fully equipped pro synth studio in one amazing package. Inspiration in heavy doses for sure. How about JX8P, D-50, Linndrum? They're all right here waiting for you. Moog Prodigy basses? Anything for you, ready and waiting. If you love to tweak, Kontakt gives you endless possibilities there too. You are not limited to what we already programmed.
• Also contains everything from Lost In The Fairlight Maze and is now sorted so that those banks are found easily; they're at the absolute top of the file hierarchy.
• This is our largest Kontakt library to date and it is made for Kontakt 5.3 and up. The full version of Kontakt is needed.
• Over 1,400 patches, 2 Gb of data, around 5,000 samples.
• Although we made improvements and added content, the price has been lowered from $219 / $159 respectively to just $99 USD.
How we see the Fairlight
We remember how the Fairlight CMI was used back in the 80s: It wasn't the final word on synthesis and sampling. It was surrounded by other fine keyboards, high end effects, sampling tools, amazing drum machines. That is why we located, bought, programmed and sampled those as well. Purchasing sounds from us ensure that this relentless work can continue. This is a very special sound library!
Sound categories
All banks from Lost In The Fairlight Maze as well as the following: Acoustic, Analog, Bass, Brass, Casio VZ, Chasing Fairs / D-50, Choir, CMI Patches (sorted into these types: Bass, Bells, CMI Processing, Drums, Effects, Flutes, Guitars, Keys, Mallets, Organs, Strings, Used by Vince Clarke & Yazoo, Voices), Drum kits, DX patches, Effects, EII Enigma, Ensoniq SQ-80, Fairlight various, Flutes, Guitars, JX Patches, Leads, Moog, MS20, Oberheim Synths, Orchestra Hits, Organs, Pads etc, Pianoz, PPG, Sararr, SH-101, Strings, Swanee, Sync, Synclavier, Synth bass patches, Synth bells, Synthshot, Technics SX-250, Trambass, Waveseq / Wavestation, Woodwindz and finally Xylos / Mallets.
Time to be amazed
Rest assured this library is good for any style of electronic music, from hip hop to Art Of Noise-inspired experiments to dubstep, house, techno, jazz, rock, etc. Sounds shouldn't be sorted to style; they should be inspiring for makers of all styles.
Indeed. It's a huge market, and it's tough to stand out. I like the idea, but to be honest I thought the initial post was far too long so I lost interest. The full back story is cool, but perhaps not in a post announcing a new product. Most people who peruse forums don't have the attention span to go through it all. Tell us what it is, how much it costs, let us hear it. With 5 new sample libraries released each day, that brief info is about all we have time for. Good luck with it! It's a monster project.
I bought this earlier tonight, and have spent the last 90 minutes playing with it. At the current $49.50 sale price (or even the $99 full price) it is an absolute steal. I'm working on an 80s-style post-apoclayptic-movie-soundtrack-inspired album, and R3 is filled with gorgeous, inspiring sounds. Everyone interested in 80s synth music should seriously consider getting this.
Or actually, don't. I want all these sounds to myself!
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the somewhat odd Dropbox distribution system. It's not a big impediment, but a bit peculiar. Even so, for a $99 (or, currently, $49.50) sample collection of this caliber, a somewhat unusual distribution system is a very, very minor issue indeed.

Sometimes it's worth to read a full post. Really cool library and if you listen to current trend in pop - all is there, again.
And rejoin anytime you’re curious if something new is there.
If this is such a problem download links should be working soon. For 99,6% of users Dropbox really is great.
Is this really the area to discuss here, not my giant work with the library? :-)
Sure i appreciate your hard work, thank you. But a free space of 1.8Gb in Dropbox is needed in order to download this library and stay up-to-date, that's all i am saying
No because you may unjoin and rejoin anytime. Like I said.
Yeah, that's what I did. Joined the Dropbox group, downloaded the files, and then removed my access (but did not take the further step of removing my authorization) so the folder wasn't taking up space on my system (but I can rejoin at any time for updates).
It's really not a big deal, and I understand the reasoning behind it, even if I do still think it's a bit clunky.
But as I said in my original post above, this very minor hassle pales in comparison to how great the sounds are, and what a tremendous value this collection is, especially at the sale price (but even at the full price). I am very happy that I purchased!
Having taken advantage of his earlier offer, I can't say enough about the sound of the library. Wide, deep and just what you'd hope for from these instruments.
Don't screw around and miss the offer. Buy this. Now!

I don't have dropbox?
So I should sign up to dropbox, and then pay with paypal?

Yes, you need to create an account
Yes, you need to install a dropbox application
Yes, you should get some server space and host this more eloquently.
It still says R2 on the archive, which seems confusing. Which is it? R2? R3?
Having said that, I can't wait for this to download so I can get some fairlight hooked up in here on a Saturday night
Edit: I see now it is also file sharing from users etc in the dropbox format. Can be useful I imagine. Anyways my download is complete and I am off to play.

Thanks! If you go back to Dropbox or check your email from them you will see that you are invited. :-)
Sorry, I don't quite understand. I looked back through my email and found the Dropbox folder invite from Bitleytm for R2 but the "View folder" link in that email brings up a 404 "folder not found" error page on the Dropbox site. I haven't received any new invites via email nor is there an invitation in the Dropbox notification area. Any other suggestions?
Yes and all sounds you hear are in the new Kontakt version as well. I am very greatful that he created such a great track with the sounds. But I could of course just as well link something by A-ha or Art Of Noise as well, since they also have a couple of Fairlight based tunes. Among the customers are also a couple of very famous hit creators from the 80’s and they seem happy with it. Quite a few Fairlight owners have also bought it as it gives them easier access to that sound.
I use Dropbox with the app it works great. I’ve got all my stuff synced between a couple computers.
Anyways, I paid for the product via paypal on my iPhone and now I am waiting for Dropbox link.
There are other services that you might consider for distribution. Dropbox is designed for collaborative and backup type of situations.
I’ve had good experiences purchasing packs from samples from mars. Although they don’t distribute updates to great. There has to be a good software solution designed for this. Can’t be that much more costly than the paypal fees.
Hey Bitley! I own the original (?) Kontakt fairlight bought back in 2014. I no longer have access to the Dropbox. Is this a free upgrade for me? If not I dont want to miss the intro price.
